Pics (and video) from FOS corner aft 9704

[bambam2972]

We just got back yesterday from a wonderful cruise aboard the Freedom of the Seas. I'll likely do a full review, but I'm currently fighting a cold I picked up the last day. Luckily I already requested today off from work.

 

I booked a balcony guarantee because I didn't really care where we were, just that we had a balcony. Then we ended up being assigned a corner aft!

 

I searched for pictures before we left and couldn't wait to see it in person. I wanted to share the pics I took.

 

It's listed as having an obstructed view. I think it's because of the port hole window and door instead of big sliding glass doors. But once you're outside the views are definitely not obstructed.

 

It's a large window:

 

Here's the view from the balcony door. The balcony is wedge-shaped, so it's large. It also comes with two chairs, a table and a lounger:

 

Here's a shot from the corner. You can see there is a beam there, but it was never really in the way:

 

And the other side:

And I have a

from us sailing into Grand Cayman. The quality isn't terrific since I only used my point and shoot camera; but you get an idea of the great views!

It's been going for a while and is sort of a consolidation of aft cabin photos and news...it would be great to have them included there too!

 

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much! I've always been curious about those cabins.

How was the motion? Was there a lot of chugging throughout the night making it hard to sleep soundly?

How was the sun/shade on the balcony? I have read that it can be almost full sun. What was your experience?

[bambam2972]

There wasn't much motion. We could feel some of the vibrations, but we slept great every night.

 

Many times there was plenty of shade. Though there would be full sun from time to time. What I really liked was that it wasn't very windy out there.
